Why We SOLD our Next Gen Raptor and What's Next? 

💯 we gave the raptor a go but the Wildtrak is going to work out better for sure 👍🏻

Thats not bad at all! If Ford put the same Wildtrak v6 in the raptor that would work really well!

Thanks 🙏🏼 I really enjoy the Ford and I think they have done really well with this new one. Will be good to do a review in a years time and see how it’s all worked out.

That's the spot! Thanks man!

Share the location bud, looks awesome

Thanks very much! Will do a Part 2 update once we have added more and then a full review when we are finished and used it on a trip

Ford ended up giving me back what I paid for the car and I got to take everything off so I really didn't lose much, if anything. They are holding their value very well..

@@EpicAfrica thanks for this. I am looking at a ranger too. Either the XLT or Wildtrack.

@@EpicAfricaSince when Ford started a charity business ?

Charity? Who said anything about that?

@@DJTrumpMAGA not sure I follow your comment?

Thanks for the comment, the Raptor was amazing but economy won in the end!

Thanks so much, that tow receiver comes with the Hamer bumper so they could sell you one. Just reach out to them on sales@hamerafrica.co.za

@@EpicAfrica Thank you so much! And that tow receiver then fits on the Ranger factory towbar as well? Will reach out to them!

If I was getting the 2L Bi Turbo then I would stick with the XLT, its a bit cheaper. The only reason I got the Wildtrak is because it was the only version with the V6

Payload of the raptor is around 650KG. It’s definitely going to sag the more weight you put.

I fitted 100-300kg coils at the rear and that worked very well with all the weight I carry on a long trip, including a 1T trailer so if you just doing canopy and drawers and dont plan to tow then look at maybe just a 100-200kg from turain taimer. www.terraintamer.com/4wd-products/suspension/smart-coils

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks for the comment! I tried to fit the wildog slider because I had them on my last ranger but they didnt fit correctly and when I asked them and said there must be a problem I was told "thats how they fit" so I decided not to just accept it and sent them back. The Gobi X fit 100% and look great so im happy.

@@EpicAfrica Thanks for your reply Jason. Was it the wildog slider from your 23 raptor that you wanted to use on the new wildtrak? Or a brand new one for the next gen WILDTRAK that didn't fit properly? Just want to make 100% sure before I order one myself😅

Thanks bud! Yea its a shame it was that high because the Raptor was really good!

I’m happy with the consumption so far, it’s around the same as my old 3.2 at 13l/100km around town and 16.5l/100 towing. The raptor was like 5L more towing. So for warranty all the ARB stuff is fine and so is the canopy. They all Ford approved. The bumpers I’m fitting (HAMER) won’t be but the only ones that are is again the ARB but I really don’t like them. Bumpers can come off if you really have a major problem. I always keep the factory ones and it isn’t a cut so they can go back on.

It’s very similar on the road but off road the old and new raptor is better, you just can’t beat the rear coil and the fox suspension is so good!

We got it from SafariCo 4x4 in KZN but I’m sure your local 4x4 store will be able to get you one. It’s made by BrownDavis

@@EpicAfrica baie dankie. Onthou jy die prys?

Yes they retail around R32k

Thanks Mark got your email!
